HENSEL VE GRETEL
DIYARBAKIR'DA

Flüchtlingskinder Diyarbakir e.V.
Tiyatro Belediye, Diyarbakir, Eastern Turkey
Premiere: October 2nd, 2011

About two million Kurds live in the Megacity of Diyarbakir. Many of them fled to the city in the 90s after their villages had been destroyed. They have lived there under dire conditions ever since - child labour, for instance, is perfectly common in Diyarbakir.
The German fairy tale Hänsel und Gretel was adapted to the biographical tales of refugee children. In Turkey theatrical work with children is rarely done, so the sixteen 8- to 12-year-olds surprised their audience in the municipal theater of Diyarbakir all the more with their self-confidence and their infectious energy on stage.
